What is gluten disguised/called in lotions/beauty products

[Schu1pam]

Hello wondering what to look for on labels for lotions, shampoos, cosmetics, etc., to know if there is hidden gluten in the products.

I have been eating gluten free for two years yet my numbers for celiac came back over the charts. I am getting it from other sources - and didn’t know I had the disease. Really need some help in discovering.

thank you!

You have to eat gluten to get a Celiac reaction.  So, for things that don’t get in your mouth, it’s not important.  There really aren’t  many products with gluten. A few will have wheat germ oil.  Things like the vitamin e in a product , even if made from wheat, does not contain gluten.

You  might want to really examine your diet.  Do you eat out? Do you have gluten in the home?  You might want to try the Fasano Elimination diet for a few months.  It seems to get people ‘s numbers down when they are having problems.
